I see a conversation from Berger (1972) with preceding generations: (Ep 1 18:40) > ...as soon as the meaning of the painting becomes transmittable, this meaning is liable to be manipulated and transformed. Hesse's The Glass Bead Game is from 1943, and I believe the "game" played in Castalia was meant to be exactly this sort of manipulation and transformation; creating new work by combining and transforming old, kind of like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millefiori https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millefiori , but for all sorts of work, not just glass. EDIT: heh, at 19:44 Berger gets around to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuleshov_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuleshov_effect (without, however, mentioning Кулешов) ... and at the close of the programme he even cites a reference*! (on broadcast TV? what kind of marvel is this?) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_of_Art_in_the_Age_of_Mechanical_Reproduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_of_Art_in_the_Age_of_...
